Novelty neckties can be funny and amuse those around you if worn at the right time. But are you sure you know when it's appropriate to wear one?

Seeing the humor in a stressful situation and being able to make others feel the same is a great talent and of course, is not something to be ashamed about. But there are some individuals that never see the humor in anything.

But showing you have a sense of humor by wearing a novelty necktie at the wrong times could make you the butt of a joke and have workmates laughing at you, rather than at your jokes.

Making the right choice of necktie for the right occasion is not always that easy, and novelty necktie wearers sometimes don't get it right.

With the wide choice of novelty neckties to be found, you can make choices as diverse as your favorite film star, hobby, pet, the alcohol brand you prefer, or anything else you may find amusing or interesting. Wearing these at the right time and place is fine, but choosing to wear a novelty necktie to an important conference for instance is neither the time nor the place.

Be sensible with it and choose a necktie to suit the occasion. The time to wear your favorite 'my company stinks but I need the money' necktie is not when you are asking your boss for a raise.

Whilst you may well see the humor in wearing a novelty necktie supporting the opposing team to a baseball match, not everyone in the crowd may feel the same way.

If you have to wear one because you feel invisible in a tasteful but ultimately boring plain silk number, then there are a lot more subtle and less 'loud' novelty neckties to choose from.

Novelty neckties are not all loud or funny of course. Some of the themed ties for example are very attractive and may reflect your personality just as well.

Novelty neckties often have a small and repeating pattern on them. So long as these are not examined too closely only you will know it carries some sort of message. If you then choose to point out what that message is, that is up to you.

So you see you don't have to give up your personality by being too sober or dowdy when making a choice of necktie, just ensure you are mindful of the event you are wearing it to.

Finding new novelty neckties nowadays is not a difficult thing to do either. Tee shirts and vests have long dominated the themed clothing market, but baseball caps with funny slogans and novelty neckties are fast catching up.
